Welcome to the Facial Image Processing and Analysis Group

The FIPA’s objective is to conduct research on automatic processing of facial images in order to build systems that can read the faces as humans do. The following research topics are covered by the group:

Face detection

Facial feature localization

Face modeling

Face recognition and verification

Face re-identification

Facial expression analysis

Emotion classification

Facial gesture recognition

Age estimation

Gender classification

The FIPA is directed by Dr.-Ing. Ekenel, who has several years of expertise on face analysis with the focus face recognition. He has received the EBF European Biometric Research Award in 2008 and, with his team, the Best Demo Award at the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition in 2008.

Since April the 19th the FIPA group has moved to its new office in building 07.08, Vincenz-Priessnitz-Str. 3. We are located on the ground floor (EG) (have a look at OpenStreetMap or the interactive campus plan).
